Stak, 2800+ should be a FSB of 333Mhz and Barton is coming as well, so the ball game will change with Model numbers as recall they are based on a T-bird. M.

Stak, Re: "One thing that I found curious was that above Model 2600, each 100Modelhurtz increase takes 133MHz now. Before they gave a 100 Modelhurtz improvement for 66 MHz jumps..." AMD realizes that they cannot match performance of the Pentium 4 as much by increasing frequency any more. That's why huge jumps in frequency are now required to get the modelhurts to go up by that magical marketable 100+. QuantiSpeed is falling apart, and this mismanaged model nonsense is going to drive the PC industry crazy trying to keep track. Already, AMD has to exaggerate, just to be competitive. Cyrix had to do the same thing, right before the PR rating lost its luster. Watch as history repeats itself. wbmw
